Not so sure, tbh - with the saddle down lower my knee clicks and grinds, so it's not just pain. I got doored 3 years ago and twisted it pretty badly and it's never really recovered from that. I've read that increasing the height of the saddle a bit more than usual lessens the maximum flex angle of the knee which sometimes helps for people with joint damage and it's certainly seemed to work for me. There's probably a happy medium between height and stability, though - a bike fitting will probably find it!
